Four never-to-be-forgotten principles of adult learning

21 de novembro de 2018

by Júlio Vieitas

When teaching private classes, one may inevitably have to teach adults. The method in which adults learn, called andragogy, is a lot less talked about when compared to pedagogy, the way children learn.

The ups and downs of teaching beginner young teens

20 de outubro de 2017

by Teresa Carvalho

So, it’s your first class with a group of beginner 12-ish year-olds. You just leaf through the course book and teacher’s guide because all the class is about is the verb to be and adjectives. You know the drill: a couple pages filled with yes-no questions and perhaps a list of cities and countries that...Read More

Below is a follow-up to one my post entitled Close Encounters of the Third Kind – Part I”, which went online precisely on March 3, 2016.

by Adriano Zanetti

It might ‘cost you dear’! That is what we generally hear when people talk about investing time and money in learning a foreign language.
